"Very, very, very likely I will do it again," said Donald Trump when referring to his presentation to the 2024 presidential elections. The former president thus underlined with greater emphasis than ever and only four days before the mid-term legislative elections of the next Tuesday, the "possible announcement" that had already advanced on previous occasions. He did it during a rally in Sioux City, Iowa.
The former president's goal is for the country to return to being, he said, "successful, safe and glorious." But perhaps Trump also wants to make it more difficult or at least more compromising to prosecute him for the different and serious cases that he has open before the courts and Congress: for his crucial role in the bloody assault on the Capitol on January 2021; for trying to alter the outcome of the 2020 elections; for the alleged crimes of obstruction of justice and against the Espionage Act that he could have committed by taking hundreds of classified documents from the White House and hiding them in his Florida residence, and for having defrauded the Treasury and tried to deceive everyone with false accounting in the balance sheets of his business empire.
After the rally in Iowa, sources close to the Republican leader confirmed the probable announcement on his part of a third presidential candidacy -after the one that took him to the White House in 2016 and the one that led to failure in 2020 although he keep denying it-, and they pointed out the date of November 14 to definitely drop the bomb.
The key for Trump's plans and threats regarding 2024 to be really substantiated in an announcement for the presidential race would be in the greater or lesser success of the Republican candidates, and in particular of those he has endorsed, in the legislative elections. of November 8.
Prospects are good for the Conservative Party. But, no matter what happens with the candidates supported by the former president, it is certain that he will score, in his case, any Republican triumph: be it in the House of Representatives, in the Senate or in both bodies of Congress.
